staring at her newfound friend.
“Yeah?”
“You’re a nephilim?” she whispered.
“Yeah , I can never tell either unless someone spills the beans,” James said, awkwardly joking.
“I didn’t know , Briathos. I swear.”
“Hey , calm down. I’m on the same side as you. My dad thought it would be safer if no one knew, and I kept an eye on her.”
“What do you mean , your father?” Alice’s blood began to boil. She hated being lied to more than anything. Though her love could save a Fallen’s soul, her anger could wreak havoc.
“Dean Vassago . He’s my dad. Surprise,” he said with fear lacing through his voice.
“Alice, I think we’re overreacting here ,” Theresa said.
“No ! I do not get kept in the dark on these things! This is my life,” she began to yell.
Briathos reached out and pulled Alice swiftly out the door. “Though I agree with you, this is not the place to exploit who and what we all are. So calm down or we’re leaving.” I need to process all of this information , he thought.
Tell me about it. Alice thought back at him. She ran her hands through her hair, frustrated, and began to take deep, soothing breaths. Everything slowed down to a halt around her, calming and giving her a few seconds to deal with the new information without outside interference. Once again, people in her life were keeping things from her and she had yet to deal with the information of the Horsemen being kept from her. Some days she felt like she was more angel, more rational than all of her Fallen family, while other days she felt quite in tune with her human side of careless emotion. She exhaled and inhaled, allowing everything to return to normal. It was enough time to cool her blood down to a burbling roar underneath her skin. “Alright, I’m okay now, though I think I’m ready to leave, if you are.”
“I’m just along for the ride.” He glanced at the teacher with a sense of yearning that Alice couldn’t ignore. Alice cleaned up her stuff quickly and brushed away James’ inquiries on how she was.
“We’ll talk later. Today I just needed it to be calm and less dramatic , is all.”
“I’m here when you need me , Alice,” James offered.
“Thank you.”
PS, Nice rock! He thought to her. She smiled in response. She had almost forgotten, again. She wasn’t letting James off the hook that easy, but something told her to stay cautious around him, as this may only be the beginning of his lies. She shushed her brain about the subject and walked toward Briathos. She watched Theresa and Briathos steal another glance from each other before they headed out the door.
“ Your teacher is, human?”
“Yeah , I believe so. Looks to me like she fancies you.”
“What does that mean?”
“Didn’t you watch or learn anything about us? She likes you; I’ve never seen her look at anyone like that before. Better be careful or you two are going to fall madly in love,” Alice bumped his shoulder. “Relax, it doesn’t happen overnight.”
Briathos ’ face grew sad, “I do not wish to damn her as I have damned myself.”
“Relax , man, you wouldn’t be the first and she, of all humans, knows what she’d be getting into. Plus, you should go on a date well before you damn her soul. Slow down, man.” She joked, but she knew the severity of the situation. She was glad to see him beginning to experience human life. She knew how important love was since she may not have survived all she had gone through without love in her life.
KOKABIEL
Kokabiel glanced around his apartment before heading out the door to meet Alice and Cole for the “big news.” He wasn’t sure he was ready for any more news after the last few months. Alice had said there were two things she wanted to share, one of which was to be with him, alone. Nerves, what a silly human emotion that I apparently seem to be enduring. He had a knack for making light of situations, but he knew Alice had gone to speak
